Syracuse sits at a crossroads between Upstate New York and the Northeast corridor, giving its scene a restless, touring culture that favors jam bands and live rock improvisation. The Westcott Theater, a converted 1920s movie house, draws indie rock and punk crowds to the University neighborhood, while the Lost Horizon on the North Side hosts hard rock and folk acts. Funk N Waffles, near the downtown core, bridges the gap between the city's college audience and homegrown musicians.
